SUMMARY:Birders and Broad-wings at Rose Tree Park
DESCRIPTION:All bird clubs\, birders\, and wanna-bes are invited to Birders
  and Broad-wings Day at the Rose Tree Park Hawkwatch! Educator and raptor 
 counter John Mercer will be at the small gazebo all day\, 9:00 am - 4:00 p
 m\, to highlight Broad-winged Hawks and raptor migration. It's the peak ti
 meframe for Broad-winged Hawks to pass through\, and with luck and favorab
 le winds\, we may see dozens streaming past the hawk watch (not guaranteed
 ).\n\nNo experience necessary - everyone is welcome to attend\, learn\, an
 d enjoy the anticipation of seeing raptors on the move. Bring binoculars i
 f you have them\; a few will be available to borrow. Bring a chair and lun
 ch if you'd like to linger with us. Restrooms are available in the park.\n
 \nThis is the 28th season of the Rose Tree Park Hawk Watch (RTPHW). Volunt
 eers have been documenting raptor migration and submitting important data 
 to the Hawk Migration Association (HMA) since 1999. Check-out photos\, se
 ason reports\, and a comprehensive species tally on the BCDC Rose Tree Pa
 rk Hawk Watch (RTPHW) webpage.\n\nThe long-running RTPHW – the only offi
 cial hawk watch in Delaware County – endures because of tremendously ded
 icated volunteers. Under the experienced leadership team of Chris Pugliese
 \, Dave Eberly and John Mercer\, daily counters record the presence (or ab
 sence) of migrating raptors. They count ravens\, swallows\, swifts\, and M
 onarch butterflies\, too! Efforts contribute to global avian conservation\
 , while also engaging and teaching people about beautiful birds of prey.\n
 \nEveryone is welcome to visit the Hawk Watch at Rose Tree Park daily Sept
 ember 1-November 15. In fact\, we really appreciate the company and encour
 agement - please come say hello to volunteer counters and help scan the sk
 ies! We're stationed at the small gazebo every day\, usually from 9 am - 4
  pm (or 10 am to 2 pm\, depending on weather and volunteer shift coverage)
 . Hawkwatchers love to share tips about identifying raptors\, and we are a
 lways learning something new together.\n\nThanks to everyone involved in t
 his wonderful community-science endeavor!\n\nPhoto by Robert Straub.
